Ben Akiba Walking Stick Camera prints 5cm im Ibsor Compur-Verschluss -Extremely rare 'spy' camera hidden in the handle of a gentleman's walking stick. The nickel plated brass body produced twenty images, 1. 3x2. 5cm on roll film. Emil Kronke patented his cane handle camera in Britain (1902), Germany (1903) and the United States (1904). It was manufactured by A. Lehmann of Berlin and marketed as the Ben Akiba walking stick camera, fakes and replicas of such cameras do exist! The camera is in very fine original condition,
